Mechanical state analysis and an original sequence of calculations of a huge bay arch under static and dynamic actions

Abstract

In the paper the simulation ideas of steel 255 m bay arch are reviewed. For modelling of wind, temperature and flexible guys mechanical work an original sequence based on a variational procedure have been prepeared. Linear static, linearized dynamic and stability, geometric non-linearity analyses are described, different support conditions in the numerical model are considered. The results of these numerical investigations were applied for the basic structural design of the building.
